This is known as technology infinito believe it or not,technology has gone beyond normalty, and right about now Off-world manufacturing is about to begin.can you beat it?
incase you didnt know,its time for you to know through icon360blg that,On Saturday, the first 3D printer designed to work in zero gravity will be launched into space, aboard a SpaceX Dragon capsule, for use on the International Space Station.
this off the work brain work was Designed and created by California-based startup Made In Space
, Inc., the Zero-G 3D Printer has been in development since 2010. In July through September of 2011, the printer was subjected to three zero-gravity test flights in the infamous vomit comet to prove that it could operate in a microgravity environment like that of the space station.
In its new home aboard the International Space Station, this first iteration of the printer will enable scientists to study the long-term effects of zero gravity on the additive manufacturing process, as well as to print tools and parts.
Unlike some of the fancier Earth-bound printers, the Zero-G 3D Printer will use good old-fashioned ABS plastic, the same material used by most standard consumer models.
